Hi all, my op was done on the 17th May 22 so I’m just over 3 weeks post op.
I’m down to one crutch and walking fine with it. I’m purposely forcing myself to weight bare on my operated leg which I’m doing ok with too. I can walk a few steps without a crutch too but not far.
How long is it before you can walk unaided?
Also I’m struggling so bad with sleeping at night as I have to sleep on my back which I have never done. My feet also get get hot and aggravated which also keeps me awake. I have tried cream and soaking in cold water, works for a while but then they start playing up again.
Do you wear you compression socks 24/7 as I’m getting conflicting advice.
When can you get in the bath, I’m full of questions.
My shower is over the bath so it’s been sink washes only for me for the moment.
I started physio this week too which they say I’m doing good.
I see my surgeon on the 5th July then.
I posted a pic of my war wound too on the other thread.
Great to be amongst others who have and are going through the same thing as me.
